    Very nice, glad you got her running properly again.

    Tire PSI?

    +1 I've always heard it in reference to the tire's temperature, they're 'hot' when they've been being driven. FWIW, the factory sticker on the inside of the door of a Corvette I saw last week had the tire pressure listed and said add 4psi to the number if the tires weren't cold.

    Driveline Shudder in 2000 Mustang GT

    Inspect and replace all the plugs. It honestly sounds like a bad COP to me, but I would start with the plugs first.

    MSD Blaster Coil on Plugs - feedback

    I wouldn't have dug the thread up to say this, but I will since someone else dug it up. No experience with the MSDs but I put a set of ACCELs in a couple of weeks ago while I was in there changing plugs. I was having an occasional hesitation at low RPMs that I had tried to chase off once...

    Yay! It's like Christmas already. :D

    Eaton M90 on a 4.6?

    Stop clouding the issue with facts, I want to see a good pissing match. :D

    Video of my first night spraying at the track

    Check out the Sidewinder with the built in 12V switch, it'll keep your hand in one place.

    bye bye motor!

    Torque specs call for 13lbs. The Bullitt Archive has a nice write up with pics covering a spark plug change. I've used the 1/16th turn method and checked it against my torque wrench and it's always within 1lb of 13. I really doubt my wrench is that accurate at that low of a setting but it's...

    MAN....... NOBODY WANNA HELP THATS CRAZY

    Yes, someone has the MMR900 in their car. Yes, it is a good choice. Yes, there is something better. Isn't there always? I'm not sure how many Home Runs you hit this year, but it's not likely to change from getting a forged block. :)

    Shifter Comparisons

    It's definitely tall. I always preferred the Tri-Ax in the 'handle up' position and couldn't stand the Pro 5.0 I tried that was super short. It'll take driving for a couple of weeks to see if I prefer it to the Tri-Ax. The throw feels a little bit shorter with the Hurst and it's not as 'all...

    Shifter Comparisons

    My Hurst SST came in this week so I got up and got in the garage this morning to swap it in. I've been running the Steeda Tri-Ax for several years now, but I always liked the look of the Hurst chrome stick and used this kit on a Hurst Billet/Plus shifter in several 87-93 Mustangs. I created...

    updated intake manifold and new brakes review

    Maybe I missed a thread but, what intake did you install?

    411's

    Fourth gear ratio is 1.00 in the T5, T45, 3650 and T56 (as well as 3rd being 1.00 in the AOD, AODE and 4r70w) so that shouldn't make a difference.

    Ford's new 6.2 in a stang?

    Seems like that's just a progression of the same engine where the 6.2 would be a brand new engine, block and all. Again, would love for them to prove me wrong, matter of fact, I dare them. :)

    Ford's new 6.2 in a stang?

    Again, not saying it couldn't happen, but I would be surprised to see them only have it on the street for a year before seeing it in the Mustang. I think it would be great if they would prove me wrong. :)

    Ford's new 6.2 in a stang?

    Ford doesn't generally have a habit of debuting new engines in the Mustang. Not saying it'll never happen, but I would expect it in something else for a few years before the Mustang.

    Sunday evening pics

    Ewww, who invited the F-Bodies? I mean, I can understand the Viper, they at least attract chicks, but again what's with the F-Bodies? :)

    3.73 or 3.90

    You'll notice no difference as long as you drive slower. :)

    BFG tire differences

    I've never seen any shop anywhere that wouldn't put a 275/40 on an 8" rim, including a half-dozen Discount Tires and Firestones. Tire pressure is much more important than a slightly over-sized tire. I've put close to 200K miles on different sets of 8" rims all with 245/45 up front and 275/40...

    short trow shifter Q? need your imput.....

    I don't get these responses. Isn't the opposite of notchy, sloppy? Isn't that what we're eliminating by getting rid of the stock shifter? Can someone explain notchy to me?
